Hi, this is Kristen from I do wedding essentials and were learning how to create a candy buffet. Right now were going to talk about some other options that we have when were doing the buffet. One of the easiest things you can do to dress up the buffet is to add ribbon and labels to your containers. As far as ribbons go, you can get at any store like Michael’s or you can buy it online. For the pink and green buffet, I probably would have done something maybe blue. A wide ribbon like this, usually with these big containers you want to get something like an inch and a half in width so it actually you know stands out on the container. You can actually glue it and don’t worry, the glue holds it but you picture it off on the end so it doesn’t mess up the container.
And then we just have a little cute little tag on the front that says strawberry rock candy on this one. The tags are especially great if you have some people that maybe have not allergies. They’re coming to the wedding because a lot of things like M&M’s that are processed on equipment with peanuts, they cant eat so its good to know you know if this is M&M’s or lint or you know there might be a different serum what they can eat. So not only are they informative but they look cute too, so you can dress them up like that. We can also put out little motives around the candle, just be careful not to get the bows too close to the underneath of the container because M&M’s will definitely melt if they get a little too warm.
A lot of times, you pull spread out either real or silk rose petals around the table along with the motives or actually, I have done a wedding before where they really wanted the look of the cute little box favors at the tables as well as the buffet. So we did a box like this and inside the box we have little cards that said, satisfy your sweet tooth, please visit the candy buffet. And so once people opened it, this have a little card and then they bought their little box over to the table and filled out their boxes, so that’s another thing you could think about. So there’s a lot of things you can do. You can just be creative, pick your colors, if you don’t want to do colors just pick your favorite candies and pick some different textures and basically its just going to be something really fun for your wedding. And you can treat it as a favor, treat as a decoration, so we’ve basically talked about some other options for the buffet and have a good time when you’re creating your own.
